The U.S. provides employment-based green cards to 140,000 people a year, with each country limited to 7,000 visas.
Therefore, a disproportionate number of people from highly populated countries like India and China face a longer wait than people from smaller countries with fewer people applying. Over 15 years, more than 200,000 employment-based visas have gone unclaimed due to bureaucratic delays, government officials estimate. Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) Filed under: Here
